Alabama Avenue is a typical station along an unique section of elevated line. The station has a single island platform between the two tracks, taking up the amount of space a middle express track would take up. Just west of the station there is a trackless structure of steel that rises up to be just above the stations canopy. This was built as a provision so a 'flying express track could be built above the line'. Just underneath this structure a middle track comes up to the el from below, from the East New York Yard. The Broadway Juction complex is viewable off in the distance. The station istelf has one exit form the island platform on its western (southern) end where there's a canopied area over about two cars. There is a single staircase that leads down to the station house below the tracks where fare control is and then another staircase down to the sidewalk at street level along Fulton Street and Alabama Avenue. Like this entire streach of line, the station was renovated in 2006-07.
